Software Development Engineer, Project Kuiper

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to revolutionize global connectivity through a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites. As a Software Development Engineer on the Atlas team, you'll be at the forefront of developing mission-critical infrastructure that powers the entire satellite network operation.

The role involves building robust systems for processing vast amounts of satellite telemetry data and creating real-time monitoring solutions that ensure the constellation's optimal performance. You'll be responsible for developing high-availability services that handle telemetry streams from thousands of endpoints, requiring exceptional attention to reliability and performance.

The Atlas software engineering group plays a fundamental role in maintaining the critical software infrastructure that enables multi-region telemetry data ingestion, health monitoring, and trend analysis across Amazon's Kuiper systems. This position offers the unique opportunity to work on technology that will directly impact unserved and underserved communities worldwide by providing them with high-speed broadband connectivity.

The compensation is highly competitive, ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location, plus additional benefits including equity and sign-on payments. This is an excellent opportunity for experienced software engineers who want to make a global impact while working with cutting-edge space technology and complex distributed systems.

The role requires strong technical expertise, collaborative skills, and the ability to work on mission-critical systems. You'll be joining a team that values innovation, reliability, and the mission of bringing internet connectivity to communities around the world. Due to export control requirements, candidates must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or have refugee/asylee status.
